Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air compressors, and in particular relates to a pressure reducing and starting device for a hydraulic piston hydrogen compressor. Background Technology

[0002] The main structure of a reciprocating compressor includes a cylinder, piston, connecting rod, crankshaft, valves, cooling system, and lubrication system. The cylinder is the working space for compressing gas; the piston reciprocates within the cylinder and is connected to the crankshaft via the connecting rod, converting the crankshaft's rotational motion into the piston's reciprocating motion. The valves control the entry and exit of gas, ensuring orderly gas flow during intake, compression, and exhaust processes.

[0003] When a reciprocating compressor starts, its internal space is closed, and the starting load is large. As a result, the motor that drives the compressor draws a large current and consumes a lot of energy during startup.

[0004] In summary, a pressure-reducing start-up device for a hydraulic piston-type hydrogen compressor is proposed. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Specific implementation method one:

[0033] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this embodiment provides a hydraulic reciprocating hydrogen compressor pressure reduction and start-up device, comprising:

[0034] Housing 1 is connected to the compressor; the connection ports 1-2 at the bottom of housing 1 are connected to the compressor, so that the internal space of housing 1 is connected to the internal space of the compressor.

[0035] Valve core 2 is located inside the housing 1, connecting the internal space of housing 1 with the internal space of compressor. The end of valve core 2 is provided with an exhaust component, and the side of valve core 2 is provided with an exhaust port 2-6. Valve core 2 is connected to connecting seat 1-3 inside housing 1, and connecting seat 1-3 is connected to connecting port 1-2, extending the communication space and changing the communication direction.

[0036] Piston 4 is slidably positioned between valve core 2 and housing 1, dividing the internal space of housing 1 into two parts. Air outlet 2-6 connects the spaces on both sides of piston 4. Piston 4 slides along valve core 2, which can change the opening and closing of air outlet 2-6.

[0037] The elastic component 3 is connected to the piston 4 at one end and to the cover 6 at the other end. The elastic component 3 can push the piston 4 back to its original position.

[0038] When the air compressor starts, gas enters the housing 1 through the connection port 1-2, and then enters both sides of the piston 4 through the air outlet 2-6 provided on the side of the valve core 2, pushing the piston 4 to move away from the connection port 1-2, compressing the elastic component 3. The elastic component 3 is preferably a spring, which can provide resistance and slow down the movement of the piston 4, so that the gas inside the air compressor is discharged into the space above the piston 4 through the air outlet 2-6. The gas above the piston 4 is discharged through the low-pressure air outlet 1-1 provided on the housing 1. As the piston 4 moves, the air outlet 2-6 will be completely in the lower space of the piston.

[0039] When the air compressor stops, the exhaust assembly opens, and the gas at the bottom of piston 4 enters the valve core 2 through the outlet 2-6 and is then discharged through the exhaust assembly. At this time, the pressure in the space below piston 4 gradually decreases. Under the action of the spring, piston 4 moves downward, so that outlet 2-6 connects the upper and lower sides of piston 4.

[0040] In this embodiment, the valve core 2 has an air inlet 2-2 along its axial direction and an air outlet 2-6 along its radial direction. The air inlet 2-2 is connected to the air outlet 2-6. Gas enters the valve core 2 through the air inlet 2-2 and then enters the upper and lower sides of the piston 4 through the air outlet 2-6.

[0041] In this embodiment, the air outlet 2-6 is elongated along the axis of the valve core 2. When the piston 4 moves, the air outlet 2-6 can ensure that there is gas on both sides of the piston 4, slowing down the movement speed of the piston 4, thereby providing a period of time for the air compressor to depressurize and start.

[0042] In this embodiment, the air outlet 2-6 has a triangular opening shape, with one side of the triangle closest to the air inlet 2-2 perpendicular to the axis of the valve core 2. The lower opening of the piston 4 has a larger width, resulting in a decrease in air velocity and an increase in pressure during air intake. In the upper space of the piston 4, the opening of the air inlet 2-2 has a smaller width, resulting in an increase in air velocity and a decrease in pressure during air intake. A pressure difference exists between the upper and lower parts of the piston 4, which overcomes the spring force and pushes the piston 4 upward.

[0043] In this embodiment, the exhaust assembly includes an exhaust piston 2-5 and an exhaust groove 2-7. The exhaust piston 2-5 slides in the exhaust groove 2-7, and the exhaust groove 2-7 has an axial groove near the air inlet 2-2. The exhaust piston 2-5 is connected to an electromagnetic switch 5. Under the control of the electromagnetic switch 5, the exhaust piston 2-5 moves downward to the position of the exhaust groove 2-7, connecting the internal space of the valve core 2 with the external space of the housing 1 to perform the venting and reset process. The bracket 7 is used to support the electromagnetic switch 5.

[0044] In this embodiment, the exhaust groove 2-7 is provided with a blocking cover 2-4 in the direction away from the air inlet 2-2, which is used to prevent the exhaust piston 2-5 from moving outward. The blocking cover 2-4 can hold the piston 4 in place, restrict the position of the piston 4, and reduce the force of gas pressure on the electromagnetic switch 5.

[0045] In this embodiment, the body 2-1 of the valve core 2 is cylindrical. The cylindrical shape of the valve core 2 facilitates the sealing between the piston 4 and the body 2-1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the main body 2-1 has a rearward blocking block 2-3 on its side, which prevents the piston 4 from moving downward. The blocking block 2-3 is used to limit the position of the piston 4 and keep the air outlet 2-6 always connected to the lower space of the piston 4.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lower part of the housing 1 is provided with a connection port 1-2 for connecting to a compressor. The connection port 1-2 is used to connect to an air compressor, preferably by a threaded connection.

[0048] In this embodiment, a low-pressure exhaust port 1-1 is provided on the side of the housing 1 for exhausting gas. The low-pressure exhaust port 1-1 is located on the side of the housing 1 and is connected to the upper space of the piston 4 to exhaust gas from the upper space of the piston.

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present invention. The embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present invention to the specific implementations described. Many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present invention, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the present invention.
